Atheist Learned the Scriptures

While studying in the Holy Lands, a seminary professor of mine met a man who claimed to have memorized the Old Testament&md;in Hebrew! Needless to say, the astonished professor asked for a demonstration. A few days late they sat together in the man's home. "Where shall we begin?" asked the man. "Psalm 1>, " replied my professor, who was an avid student of the psalms. Beginning with Psalm 1:1>, the man began to recite from memory, while my professor followed along in his Hebrew Bible. For two hours the man continued word for word without a mistake as the professor sat in stunned silence. When the demonstration was over, my professor discovered something even more astonishing about the man&md;he was an atheist! Here was someone who knew the Scriptures better than most Christians ever will, and yet he didn't even believe in God.
